There are thousands of starling that roost under this pier in my in-laws' home town. Every evening at the same time (dusk) they fly out en-masse to feed before swooping back down below the pier. The whole process goes on for a little while, roughly to coincide with the light going down. During this time the number of birds in the pack goes up and down, and it's an amazing sight a their peak. Unfortunately, I've only really seen these peaks on days when I didn't have my camera, so for now, this is the best one. Click on my Flickr for a full size version.

this is a standard issue watch in many of the US armed forces' branches.
i got this one as a gift for my older brother and since i got it, i've wanted to take a decent picture that did it justice, my point and shoot could NOT focus on anything when it was dark, but it was a very simple task for the D60.

i had two entries, both were meaningful to me, i chose this one because it's a shot that i've attempted over and over, and last night i finally got it.

I've been thinking all month on what I could take a photo of for this topic that would be different. I collect clocks and have about 10 going off every hour (you get use to it and company doesn't come for extended visits, LOL). Here is my submission for the month. I call it "time passing me by".

Here's my entry (talk about cutting it fine!).
I really struggled this month as my original idea just didn't work out and then all my back ups seem to fail too. The picture is of my garden wall which fell over last summer but has just been forgotten.
I give this image the name "Forgotten in time".

It was recommended to me that I put this photo here, though I must admit that I feel inadequate doing so. I have no real title for this shot, as I was not really composing it, per se--I just though it looked neat. The organic (participants in time) versus the mechanical (the keeper of time) struck me though, which was the reason for the shot. Later, I also noted the contrast of geometry: the lines, crossing beams, and center window, set against the foreground of the individual nature of the human form...maybe what drew me to that frame.

I took this photo with a canon S80, black and white, zoomed out to 28mm, ISO 100, aperture 4.0, and shutter speed 1/200. No post-processing (I do not know how yet!) (I am new to photography, so please forgive me if I misuse the nomenclature.)

I'm not really proud of it, but it took me a while to do, I though the idea was good. I'm sure you can tell it was done in a mirror. Challenges were getting the 2 objects close and still missing the front (old camera) in the corner of the frame. Forgot to lower ISO, I just pushed some contrast and a few really simple edits.
